Just FYI: Linking through QT is NOWHERE near convenience, features
and speed of direct link to IQFeed.
When linking via QT:
- you don't have streaming real time (quotes from QT are only snapshots taken periodically)
- you don't have mixed intraday / eod data in the same database
- you don't have 9 months intraday and 10 years EOD
- you don't have time&sales
